Ron and Cheryl Howard – 46 YEARS

Prolific filmmaker Ron Howard made his ever-enduring mark in the entertainment industry with film credits such as A Beautiful Mind, Apollo 13, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Thanks to his countless contributions to Hollywood, the Oscar-winning director/actor has received not just one, but two stars in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. However, behind his successful career is a four-decade-long marriage to his high school sweetheart, Cheryl Alley. With the hustle and bustle of show business, it is hard to imagine how the couple was able to keep their relationship stronger than ever. Howard credits communication as a big factor in making it work along with their undeniable compatibility.

The couple tied the knot in June of 1975 and have been blessed with four children. Their eldest daughter Bryce, born in 1981, went on to become an actress. Their twins, Paige and Jocelyn, were born in 1985 while their only son, Reed, was born in 1987.
